Sheet separation device and laminating system

Abstract

A sheet separation device for separating two sheets of a two-ply sheet, in which the two sheets are overlapped and a part of the two sheets are joined, and inserting at least one sheet medium between the two sheets includes an upper surface, an ejection tray, and a conveyor. A lamination fixing device that laminates the two-ply sheet including the at least one sheet medium inserted between the two sheets is to be mounted on the upper surface. The ejection tray is disposed on the upper surface. The two-ply sheet laminated and ejected from an ejection port of the lamination fixing device is to be stacked on the ejection tray. The conveyor is coupled to the lamination fixing device to convey the two-ply sheet including the at least one sheet medium from the sheet separation device to the lamination fixing device.

1 . A sheet separation device for separating two sheets of a two-ply sheet, in which the two sheets are overlapped and a part of the two sheets are joined, and inserting at least one sheet medium between the two sheets, the sheet separation device comprising:

         2 . The sheet separation device according to  claim 1 , further comprising a height adjustment mechanism to adjust a height of the lamination fixing device with respect to the upper surface of the sheet separation device. 
     
     
         3 . The sheet separation device according to  claim 1 , further comprising a position adjustment mechanism to adjust a position of the ejection tray in a sheet ejection direction with respect to the ejection port of the lamination fixing device. 
     
     
         4 . The sheet separation device according to  claim 1 ,
 wherein the lamination fixing device is detachably mounted on the upper surface of the sheet separation device.   
     
     
         5 . A laminating system, comprising:
 a sheet separation device to separate a two-ply sheet to form the two-ply sheet having an inner sheet inserted therein, the sheet separation device having an upper surface on which a lamination fixing device is to be installed,   the sheet separation device including a plurality of first positioners to restrict a position of the lamination fixing device in a direction orthogonal to a conveyance direction of the two-ply sheet,   each one of the first positioners being movable in the direction orthogonal to the conveyance direction of the two-ply sheet.   
     
     
         6 . The laminating system according to  claim 5 ,
 wherein the sheet separation device includes a plurality of second positioners to restrict a position of the lamination fixing device in the conveyance direction of the two-ply sheet, and each one of the plurality of second positioners is movable.   
     
     
         7 . The laminating system according to  claim 5 , further comprising a conveyor to convey the two-ply sheet from the sheet separation device to the lamination fixing device, wherein the conveyor is detachably attached to the lamination fixing device. 
     
     
         8 . The laminating system according to  claim 7 ,
 wherein the conveyor contacts the lamination fixing device to restrict movement of the lamination fixing device.   
     
     
         9 . The laminating system according to  claim 7 ,
 wherein the conveyor has a rotatable roller.   
     
     
         10 . The laminating system according to  claim 7 ,
 wherein the conveyor is extendable in a vertical direction.   
     
     
         11 . The laminating system according to  claim 7 ,
 wherein an angle of an ejection port of the conveyor is adjustable.   
     
     
         12 . The laminating system according to  claim 5 ,
 wherein the sheet separation device has a mark on the upper surface of the sheet separation device, and the mark indicates a direction of installation of the lamination fixing device.   
     
     
         13 . The laminating system according to  claim 5 ,
 wherein the sheet separation device includes a vertical adjustment mechanism to adjust the lamination fixing device in a vertical direction.   
     
     
         14 . The laminating system according to  claim 7 , further comprising a parallelism adjustment mechanism to adjust parallelism of the lamination fixing device with respect to the conveyor.
